Horrors of Death And Deeds Useful after Death
7 In the graveyard, stand with the back towards the holy Qiblah whilst facing the face of the buried one, and then recite:
اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَـا اَهۡلَ الۡقُبُوۡرِ
يَغۡفِرُ اللّٰهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمۡ اَنۡتُمۡ لَنَا سَلَـفٌ وَّنَحۡنُ بِالۡاَثَر
Translation: Salutation be upon you all, O inhabitants of the graves, may Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgive us and you. You came (here) before us and we are about to follow after you. (Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5, pp. 350)
8 Agarbatti (incense sticks) should not be lit upon the graves as it is against respect and causes discomfort to the dead; however if it is for spreading fragrance for the comfort of visitors, it should be lit beside the grave, as perfuming is praiseworthy. (Derived from Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 9, pp. 525,582)
9 Do not place lamps or candles etc., upon the grave because fire upon a grave is disrespectful to the dead; however if it is required for the purpose of providing light to, then candles or lamps etc. may be placed besides the grave.
